I currently work for a surveyors that has been in operation since 1889. So there is a lot of old paper in our office.
There is an archive room containing hundreds of very old manilla folders full of surveys.
When you open the door a very musty old paper smell walks out the door and slaps you in the face. And continues to do so for the entire time that you are in there.
I decided that these piles of aged and yellowing paper were begging to be photographed.
I stalled on buying Bibi, but hey, the Monochrome ones will keep Greig company, so I just bought Bibi to accompany my twins.
Tumtum, Greig, Bibi, Panda Kuro, Panda Mono
Added note: Panda Kuro (Black one) has the leg popping off problem. All my other ones are fine and I have heard it`s common, but sadness. They only pop off when I twist the legs to the above position, going to heat it a bit in the tush and hope it can prevent leg falling

A more permanent steel patch was constructed.
SFM2 "Ace" Acfalle, one of USS “Current” ARS-22's ship fitters,
spent the better part of two days, without any rest, welding the metal patch to the AMASTRA to make it seaworthy.

Currently out of traffic with major engine problems is 20188. Seen here in happier times at Arley heading for Highley with an ECS move on October 9th 2009.
Absolutely no frills, goes like a bat. Definitely something you don't want to use for buying groceries.
Our everyday life is can often be described as a flow, that is constantly taking us forward. We pass by places, things and people, leaving our memories and experiences behind and we sometimes don’t have an opportunity to stand up, stop and look around or behind ourselves, to see all the way, all the traces, the inanimate witnesses, that silently remember us passing by. In this photo series I sought to slow down, disconnect myself from the motion and look back, look up and down. I moved to the sides and touched the objects, had a closer look at them, inspected the marks, textures and lines, tried to observe them back and seek for the clues for the stories they had witnessed.
By midnight tonight it will have rained about 2 inches here in Hillsboro, Oregon. This image is from the Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve weather system located about 1 mile from my home.
I see that it is Full Moon night, but much too cloudy for a look.

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

The train is currently made up of five cars that are slightly different than the actual British Railway MK I coaches used in the films. The Hogwarts Express is usually made up of four corridor passenger coaches, although sometimes a special fifth coach is attached with an open floor plan. Also, the end car is not accurate to the films, but is what I prefer to the alternative: a gangway leading nowhere with no red light on the end. Also, all the doors can open on each of the cars.
